It takes a lot of courage to earnestly answer the call that God has placed on your life, whether that is to church ministry, of being like a bona fide clergy person, which I don't even know what that means, right?
What happens when faith, queerness, and social justice intersect? In this thought-provoking episode of 'a queer chaplain', Bonnie Violet sits down with Pastor Nicole Cade, an ordained elder in the United Methodist Church serving in Duluth, MN. Pastor Cade shares her journey of navigating faith as a queer person and the unique challenges and joys that come with it.
From her love of coffee and board games to her spiritual practice of hiking, Nicole brings a relatable and human touch to her story. The conversation delves into the church's role in social justice, emphasizing the need for active involvement and the importance of listening to marginalized communities. Pastor Cade doesn't shy away from discussing the discomfort and uncertainty that often accompany spiritual growth, stressing that it's a lifelong process.
She highlights the significance of finding supportive communities, particularly for queer and trans people of faith. Throughout the episode, both Bonnie Violet and Pastor Cade address the historical exclusion and harm faced by queer individuals within religious spaces, advocating for more inclusive and affirming environments. This episode is a compassionate and informative exploration of how faith can coexist with queerness and gender identity, offering valuable insights for anyone interested in these intersecting paths.
